Have You the Humility that Saves?
Continuing our look at the True Catholic Faith, without which no one can be saved, we have the necessity of submission to the Pope for salvation. Our Lord gave us Apostles to whom we must humbly submit if we would desire to please Him. Those who will not have the yoke of Peter will have no share in the glory of the elect. Hear the binding words of Pope Boniface VIII (Unam Sanctam, 1302):
We declare, state, define and pronounce that it is absolutely necessary for the salvation of every human creature to be subject to the Roman Pontiff.

This is a key point of the faith. In every protestant church you may believe whatever you want to believe, and if your beliefs differ from those of your congregation, there are 2000 others to choose from. If none of them matches your needs you can simply start your own denomination, like Luther, Calvin, et al.
Only the Catholic Church claims to be the true Church founded by Christ. Only the Catholic Church claims to be necessary to salvation. While that doesn't prove it is true, it certainly sets it apart form the others.
